Matt Brady took home the 2008 Aruba Poker Classic that ended yesterday. He won $1 million, and won over the swedish poker pro Johan Storakars in the heads up. Johan Storakers was the chip leader when the final table began, and Matt Brady was at second place in chips when it started. But this changed under the final table.
Matt Brady is a poker pro and he have won big money in the World Poker Tour, and is a respected name in the poker world. But this was his first win in a big buy-in tournament.
This final table was actually delayed by rain, and this never happens in poker. Aruba is a Paradise Island but it started to rain under the final table, that was played outside by a great pool just by the water. The tournament final table had to move inside to a casino where they finished it.
The last hand of the tournament, Matt had T-7 and flop was J-T-T. Johan Storakers had A-J and went all in, and Matt´s tens won. Congratulations to Matt Brady and for the winnings of $1 million!
